“If I knew that he was gonna do this, I would’ve never let him go. I don’t care how much trouble I would’ve got in. I wouldn’t have let him go if I knew Jake was gonna flee,” shared Ennis.
Also believed to be with Jake, is 16-year-old AC. A is Noah’s cousin and Jake’s niece.
Jamie Bravata, the mother of the 16-year-old, said A went missing from her Gallatin home in the middle of the night.
Bravata said she found inappropriate messages between her daughter and her paternal uncle months prior, and tried to end communication between the two.
On Saturday morning, Bravata said one of A’s siblings discovered she was missing from her bedroom, with a note left behind from A.
“I woke up the rest of the kids screaming ‘Where is A?! She’s gone!’ And everyone started flipping out. This is not like her,” shared Bravata.
Investigators say Jacob has an active warrant on file for custodial interference and was last seen driving a silver 2005 Subaru Legacy with Tennessee tags 42MY10.
The vehicle has numerous bumper stickers on the back, and damage on the left bumper.
35-year-old Jake Clare is 6′7 with a thin but muscular build.
He has brown hair and blue eyes and is said to have tactical training background.
Bravata said A suffers from seizures and left home without her medication.
Both families tell WVLT they believe Jake took the children to the Smoky Mountains because he reportedly shared with someone he had plans to take his son Noah.
